This is a beautiful quilt. Question for your hand quilting...Do you use a hoop or a frame? I have only done frame quilting on full size quilts. When I tried to do them with a hoop it did not work well for me so I started machine quilting but have a couple found quilt tops that were pieced by one of my Gmas and I want to hand quilt them.

Size 11 needles are shorter than size 9 needles.

I like the colored thread for your quilting.......the stitches show up so nicely.

Don your quilt is gorgeous and your hand quilting is perfect!

My goodness that is striking! Thanks so much for showing some closeups. You do great work.

I'm impressed. Nicely done your stitches are impeccable.

Really, really like your hand-stitching, Don! It shows up beautifully and certainly enhances the quilt without "interfering with the pattern!

Just spectacular !!! Job well done and to be very proud of !!

Wow! That turned out beautiful! Love your quilting!

beautiful quilt, love your quilting
